FILL
THE VOID tells the story of an Orthodox Hassidic family from Tel Aviv.
Eighteen-year-old Shira is the youngest daughter of the family. She is about to
be married off to a promising young man of the same age and background. It is a
dream-come-true, and Shira feels prepared and excited.

On
Purim, her twenty-eight-year-old sister, Esther, dies while giving birth to her
first child. The pain and grief that overwhelm the family postpone Shira's
promised match.

Everything
changes when an offer is proposed to match Yochay - the late Esther's husband -
to a widow from Belgium. Yochay feels it's too early, although he realizes that
sooner or later he must seriously consider getting married again.

When
the girls' mother finds out that Yochay may leave the country with her only
grandchild, she proposes a match between Shira and the widower.

Shira
will have to choose between her heart's wish and her family duty
